Slowly archiving photos and articles from Skateboarder Magazine and The Skateboard Mag, while also including stuff from Transworld, SLAP, Thrasher. I am not, nor have I ever been, formally affiliated with any of these magazines.
Feeling Sheepish in New Zealand
From the April 2005 Skateboarder Contents page summary: "Gareth Stehr hosts a wild excursion through his homeland of New Zealand, where Dan Drehobl, Daniel Shimizu, Alex Klein and Nate Jones deal with gangsterism, caning, and problem gambling, all while Kenny Reed proves he is the Lord of the Pies". Words by Alex Klein and photos by Brian Gaberman.
Going Home: Brad Staba
Brad traveled to his home state of Ohio with Brian Gaberman to shoot this October 2007 Skateboarder feature, accompanied by an interview with Adam Salo.

| Make sure you read the caption re: the Confederate flag. Brad doesn't condone it - it is from his dad's house, and this interview was published at a time when it was deemed okay to display the flag as a sign of "innocuous rebellion". I'm including it to keep the article intact to how it was published in 2007, in no way do I condone what that flag symbolizes and represents and its presence on my blog is solely to preserve the article as it originally appeared. |
Divulge: Don Nguyen
The Nuge's Divulge interview from the February 2005 issue of Skateboarder. Words and photos by Shad Lambert. I also included a scan of Don's 360 flip sequence for a Hurley ad in the same issue, at the same spot as the cover photo.
10 Spots You Gotta Skate Before You Die
Put together by Adam Salo for the March 2006 issue of Skateboarder.
How many of these have you skated, or at least visited? Only China Banks for me (for now).
Cityscape: Minneapolis
The Cityscape article for Minneapolis, written by Steve Nesser for the March 2006 issue of Skateboarder. Some things have changed since then.
Harold Hunter as Batman
Harold Hunter crooked grinds a barrier in a Batman suit. Photo by Giulio Cezere (pseudonym for Giovanni Reda?) This was published in the April 2005 issue of Skateboarder for a photo caption contest. I wasn't able to find the result from the contest in any future issues (though I didn't look especially hard).
Deluxe's, Girl's, and Zero's TFs
This October 2007 Skateboarder article brings you behind the doors of the private skateparks for the Deluxe, Girl and Zero companies during that time. I'll bet it was a bigger deal to see these photos in a time before The Berrics introduced regular online skatepark content. The article was put together by Alex Klein, with photos taken by Dave Chami.
Jake Johnson - wallie tailslide
This sequence was shot by Jonathan Mehring and appeared in the Howl section of the October 2007 issue of Skateboarder. As I have mentioned before, I started reading the mag at my public library before subscribing to it, and the October 2007 issue was the last one I had to read there before getting them in the mail. The memories of flipping through those issues at the library are still very fresh in my mind, and one of the images I remember most is this wallie tailslide. It was one of the first times that I thought that skateboarding was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. You can see the clip here.
Question Mark: Shaun Gregoire
A short feature on Shaun Gregoire from the May 2010 issue of The Skateboard Mag. Words by Paul Zitzer and photos by Rodent.
Mike Carroll - backside bigspin on the Van Owen bump
This sequence was shot by Ben Colen and appeared in the Focus section of the April 2005 issue of Skateboarder. I always liked how this trick looked in Mike's Fully Flared part.
Bulletproof Dreamers on the Road of Destiny: Deluxe's Endless Summer
This October 2007 Skateboarder article documents a Deluxe trip through the United States (although it's more like a Real trip; all but one of the riders were on that team). There's also a photo of a young James Hardy in this one. Words and photos by Giovanni Reda.
Texodus: Ipath battles the Lone Star State
This article from the April 2005 issue of Skateboarder documents a trip that the Ipath team took early in 2005 for a Texas Skate Jam Make-A-Wish event at Southside Skatepark. They also toured through the state, which is what the photos in the article are from. Words by Barker Barrett and photos by Dennis McGrath.
Daewon ollieing over Little Daniel
Here is a photo of Daewon Song ollieing over a recreation of his longtime friend Daniel Castillo, dubbed "Little Daniel". According to Daniel, Reda created the Little Daniel doll over three days in his New York apartment and spent over $100 on the materials. Daewon's ollie appeared in the Extra section of the June 2007 issue of Skateboarder. In the next issue, there was even a Face Off feature with the two Daniels.
Andrew Reynolds - nollie noseslide Cyclops Rail
The sequence of Andrew Reynolds's nollie noseslide on the Cyclops Rail in Atlanta, Georgia. Sequence shot by Brian Gaberman. This was published in the front of the October 2010 issue of Skateboarder, which also had a Stay Gold feature and a full Spanky interview. It's crazy to see how long Reynolds is in the air between the nollie and the noseslide. You can see the clip here or here.
The Rise Above Rainfall: Portland
This article was written by Scott Koernor and is about the skater-friendly city of Portland, Oregon, featuring photos of some notable locals of that time (photos by Bryce Kanights and Garric Ray). Published in the May 2010 issue of Skateboarder.
